(Background/Career History)
Early Life
Alex grew up in her family home town of Dumfries in Scotland. She very much like her father in wanting to explore the stars and dreams of being captain herself one day. The stories he would tell her about his adventures were inspiring, and Offend tried to recreate them in the back garden with her toys. He always made sure to check in with his family and bring a souvenir from his travels.
She suffered from anxiety when she was younger, having trouble interacting with others and mainly keeping to herself, but has gotten better in recent years.
Alex is the older child in the family (until the discovery of her long-lost brother in 2401). She is very protective of her little sister, Nadia was the only survivor of a freighter after it was attacked by pirates and was taken in by her father after he found her.
Her father was killed during the Vaadwaur invasion while on patrol. She, along with her family, were devastated by his loss, and the grief was a little overwhelming for Alex. This caused her anxiety to flare up again, Not wanting to bother her friends with her sadness. It also affected her relationship with Lindsey Bennett, A long-time friend turned girlfriend since high school, but they have since lost touch.
